What is radical about stopping people floating over without documents?
Seems pretty sensible.
It will break international law.
@@drummingtildeath so? If laws written by other countries no longer work for an independent country, new ones can be written. If they can't, we clearly don't have a democracy.
Didn't Poland and Greece put fences up when it was against the rules?
@@mrmeldrew693 here is the thing one people will see that as whataboutism but to me it is not really important. And 2. You don’t really see many people moving to Poland or Greece as economic migrants do you?
@@mrmeldrew693 It's UK law; the UK has had asylum rights since approximately 600 CE.
@@oceanmike8516 I was in Poland in the 80s and saw a lot of African and Asian immigrants there.
That’s actually a brilliant plan to be fair. About time something like this was put in place.
Good luck with it really happening, though.
It’s all smoke and mirrors mate. It won’t happen.
The population of Africa is set to double by 2050.
Brexit was a ploy to remove us from EU immigration laws, allowing the UK to soak up non-EU immigration (specifically sub-Saharan) as the UK by far is the most tolerant of them.
All the BLM, Bridgerton type programs, Remove whites from advertising etc is all just softening us up for the inevitable.
@@sorrystilltrying5062 It will.
@stephenr-gr4ee how has that even happened?
@@gigidotto9014nope
This took how many years? Too little too late. Damage is done.
how about the damage from 13 years of Tories cutting all out public funding and services?
how about the damage of Brexit?
or the damage done to our economy because of Boris, Liz and Rishi?
nah you just see someone who cant verbally defend themselves trying to make a better life and you want to kick them down, but also vote Torie and kick down the generations of brits and the next 5 decades of inflations because you wanted Brexit done by any means, even though Boris and Farage said its failed already.
To true brother
Should have been handled in the 70s when it began.
Ofcourse. Offering them asylum will only signal to other country's residents that the UK has open borders
This is a false equivalency unsupported by any facts; sure it may make you feel good but it doesn't make it factually right or morally right. Just like calling someone an asshole because you don't agree with something they have done but you don't actually know them at all.
@@TankEnMate not false , look at America as soon as they thought the would get asylum they rushed the border, Migration will cause a war you watch
@@jimihayes150 Firstly, asylum is only granted in limited circumstances; you can't get asylum for economic reasons for example. Just because you apply for asylum doesn't mean you'll get it. Secondly, a war will start? What kind of war? Invasion? (who invades who because of asylum seekers?) Civil? (which country are you suggesting will have their armed forces split and start a conflict?)
@@TankEnMate wether they get asylum or not, it encourages them to flood here
A civil war , the native populace will be pushed too far, if you keep calling people racist it's only a matter of time before they are, all the burden of migration on the poorest communities , you forget the police grunts are working class and when you have the backing of police or army then a civil war is on the cards, or a race war in the least , I'm not advocating I just think that's the end game
The NHS is in ruins meanwhile UK taxpayers foot the £1.3 billion bill to accommodate immigrants
Both are due to Brexit; the money that should be available to fund the NHS isn't there because the UK is taking in less tax (in absolute terms, but greater in percentage terms because the UK economy is smaller thanks to Brexit). And now that we have left the EU we don't have an agreement with other members to deport non asylum immigrants to other EU members; because we are no longer a member!
The NHS is in ruins because, since Thatcher's regime in the 80s, it has slowly been being sold off to private companies in the US. The outcome of this is that the UK government have been releasing less funding into it.
The NHS is heading for total privatisation by stealth.
The uk taxpayer destroyed any chance they had to have a decent living in their own land so why not let them have a chance here? Let alone the 11 thousand all 30 million should come over it’s only fair
@@AZ-kh7np Bullshit much?
No we don't. The money comes out of our overseas aid budget. All the money goes to serco and g4s, companies that are subcontracted by the government and make HUGE profits. Small boats are a consequence of ridiculous Brexit policies. It is not possible to return asylum seeking people to a third safe country because no country will accept them. I also need to make clear that it is not illegal to claim asylum, it is not illegal to travel without documents when seeking safety, and it is not a requirement to settle in the first safe country you reach. The government's hyper focus on asylum issues is to detract from their poor policies, governance and cost of living crisis that is a result of Brexit. Other countries show upward projection and signs of recovery since Brexit - the UK is the only one that doesn't.
Hurry up and start sending them back
why?
That would require the govemeny to do there job and process the claims
@@ozzie2612
What do you think?
Because we the people in Uk are forced to pay their political asylum apart from taxes.
And why is the law applying to us but not for them?
If I illegally emigrated somewhere I'd be arrested so should they, because law is supposed to be the same for all.
They are weigh on our back and is time for them to get these money sucking leeches off of our back.
If they want to come here they have to buy themselves a ticket just like we do to move around Europe.
@@jdamers3829 Even when they are still way out to sea the RNLI go searching for them and fetch them here onto our land. This is disloyalty to the point of treason. Their feet should never touch dry land. They don't belong here, they do not have the sophisticated experience and qualifications to enrich our culture.They are already doing their best to destroy our way of life, for example, pulling their trousers down in the street on the pavement in front of everyone and going to the toilet all over the place, leaving it there to cause disease. Who is supposed to clean up after them? Worse than dogs.
You are cruel 😡
Stop the boats during crossing the channel all the time! These are illegal migrants!
Except if they are claiming asylum; claiming asylum isn't illegal.
@@TankEnMate seeking asylum should seek from application, not from illegal channel crossing!
@@金黃8899 That's the whole point, the current minister says that people should only be able to apply from their home country, but obviously there is no embassy in Afghanistan, Syria, etc. In effect they aren't *allowed* to apply, and so they are left to cross the channel.
@@TankEnMate But there mingled with mostly illegal ones. They should seek from official routes like other seekers!
@@金黃8899 The point is the UK doesn't provide a way to do it via "official" routes. The UK is saying the only official way to is to apply from your home country, but there are no embassies in their home country because strangely enough it's not safe for the UK to have an embassy there!! Heads I win, tails you lose.
A foreigner reporting on another foreigner's stance on foreigners.
Exactly she's only mad cause soon she won't be able to game the system anymore!
If they don't come with a ticket they can f off because we are the ones paying out of our salary compulsory money for their political asylum.
Money that should be going in our family and need of investment.
@@chrismancini5645who cares about her opinion we are the ones having to pay for these leeches if she loves them so much she can take all of them in her house.
She doesn't know ... :0
It's amazing I love it so much
I love how channel 4 pretends people crossing the channel isn’t a problem
Sure it is a problem; made worse by the fact the there is no practical way for people to seek asylum in the UK, and secondly now that we have left the EU we have no way to deport non asylum immigrants back to their origin country in the EU.
The only problem there is that hundreds of people drown every day.
It wasn’t in 2018, channel crossings were under 300 per year, now they are over 45,000 per year, ask yourself what changed.
@@tomvandersteen5880 The biggest thing that changed was the threat that they'd never be able to get in if they don't come now. It's like those ads on YT, "I'm not sure if I'll have this offer up ever again. So Click Right Now!"
@@TankEnMate You aren’t wrong, but the other thing that a lot of these anti asylum commenters are missing is that the thing that changed was Brexit and the associated ending of the Dublin Regulation which used to allow us to return large numbers of asylum claimants to other EU countries they had passed through. What’s the betting most of them happily voted for the very thing (and the party that enacted it) that’s caused these boat crossings to soar?
I thought entering a country illegally was already illegal?
Its legal under international law as it should be to protect asylum seekers the government are protecting the illegal gangs by not processing the claims
@@jdamers3829😂😂😂😂 what a load of rubbish 🇬🇧
Deport immediately
When we act extreme it is because the asylum seekers has swamped our country. So I'm happy with this ruling.
The ignorance
@@myblackbook8495 There’s absolutely nothing ignorant about that I agree in its entirety.
N.B. I wasn’t born here and I’m only half British!!
@@stevenrobinson7722 isn’t this the same thing that happened between Nigeria and Ghana in the 80s and 90s when there was an influx of Ghanaians, who were economic migrant, illegally into Nigeria and then Nigeria engaged in a mass deportation of illegal Ghanaians.
Small boat crossings were under 300 a year in 2018, now they are over 45,000 a year, why do think that is all of a sudden?
I'd rather we remove the minority of brexitards
Imagine, making illegal immigration illegal. Oh the inhumanity of it all!
It isnt illegal under international law to come here on a boat to seek asylum
@@jdamers3829Only if you present yourself to the authorities and submit an asylum application immediately upon arrival. Otherwise, you are treated as an illegal alien.
Also, people who committed serious crimes are ineligible for being recognized as refugees.
Great news as it means that all immigrants will be treated the same way and the illegals will not be allowed to disadvantage those that are going through approved channels
What are the approved channels?
All talk, no action! COULD= weak possibility= WILL NOT HAPPEN
Only allowed from plane. Like over a million and half from Ukraine blonde hair blue eyed🤗
we don't want the Ukrainians either to be honest
@@anonman3707 Well this is what government do. Keep wars going rich makes money out of peoples misery and then invite them over like they care and not even enough to go around for their own people, then resentment and hate grows between nations and people so they keep fighting each other. Satan's work is done.
Ukrainians (1) were fleeting _actual_ danger (rather than "my country sucks, I want a nicer one"), and (2) their intention is to go back as soon as it's safe, instead of moving here permanently.
Yeah because they don't rape
Hitlers Uk😂
It's about time, don't care if it is pushing the boundaries. It is time they start safe guarding and looking after our tax paying country.
Sounds like Australia’s border policy.
A good one 🇦🇺
You mean the failed one.
Perhaps provide a citation for your claim just for context lad
Directed at op obviously
@@NeilCWCampbell Remind me, I'm not familiar
? Apparently you are see you earlier post
@NeilCWCampbell I'm not aware of a failed Australian border policy, I'm genuinely curious, I'm open minded, if you can tell me about one I'd be more than curious
Try getting into any country without a passport
We used to do it quite easily before Brexit.
It easy when you have freedom of movement before brexitards destroyed that
The same as we had means to return people to EU before brexit voters removed us from Dublin protocol
We should make racist brextards house these immigrants and pay for them
Mine the waters change your own country.
I dont trust Rishi Sunak !!
None of us do, only his few millionaire cronies and they're only in it for the money. Sunak is not one of us, he is our enemy, and the sooner we are rid of him the better, I don't care how.
He should do something about Indian scammer all over England
Also thousand Indian immigration come to England with fake marriage
Majority of scammers normally have parents.
Return the 45 trillion British Empire looted back to India. Then no more Indians will come to UK. 45 trillion during that time have the value of 450 trillion of today.
@@albertjoefrancy7309 bro. Do you think people worry about stolen artefact, this country is slowly being destroyed and no one noticed because they just can’t accept the reality that immigration can ruin a nation.
@@albertjoefrancy7309 Same with the gold, diamonds and labour stolen from all of the old empire.
The British tilled the soil till it could give no more then handed over power to criminals when they left. Even now they're still giving 'aid' and the descendants of these criminals continue stealing it.
This is why people risk their lives to cross the Mediterranean and the English channel. Many people, in Africa, are still dying of AIDS because their corrupt 'leaders' refuse them treatment. It looks, very much, like a conspiracy to depopulate Africa. People come here so as they can earn a living for their families.
The ruling class have a few Asian and Black scapegoats in the government. They think this will make us believe that we live in a democratic society.
Truly democratic societies would show compassion to refugees.
@@albertjoefrancy7309 still crying 500 years later, pretty sure scammers have taken more than that and how do you know this?
Obviously you can not do the job so draft in Australian and Canadian Border Force to show our lot how its done. What a disgrace to all those who lost their lives in ww2 to keep our borders.
Too late yall already imported too many since 2014
I didn't realise Emma radacanoo was a news reader aswell as a tennis star
Get on and do it .do not let them land in the first place .and stop boarder force and RNLI from picking them up .
So, murder then is that your solution?
C.
It's because if they don't pick them up they get lost in the country and they can't track them doing god knows
Why do you think the tories aren't doing that already?
Because they know it would be illegal. We'd attract international criticism and probably lose a lot of money.
Regardless of what the policy is it is not carried out.They are given Homes and all the help the need to claim more than us brits. they are given £1000s in Grants. Every rule inthe book hass been broken for this lot for example. A like business could not be opened ithing a certain radius . How is it then we have several grocery shops differnt nationalities barbers nail shops etc etc etc all in a row?? £1000s in grants and legal aid that we can not get
45,000 people arrived this year in small boats that are paying thousands to smugglers, this law will ruin the system that smugglers have because no one will pay them to smuggle if they know as soon as they arrive they will be sent back
This is non-sense. UK has not deals with 3rd countries. UK didn't deported a person to Rwanda. It can not be ilegal to ask for assylum by UK law because there are internacional rules for this. This will be another conservarive fiasco.
45k people may sound like alot but its chump change. Don't be fooled. Whatsmore there's plenty of reasons we should want asylum seekers.
How bout... letting asylum seekers use ferries and trains like they used to be able to. That would stop the smugglers tomorrow.
There were zero arriving by boats under labour 0 to 50 k lol
@@1man1bike1roadLabour just let them in
Between 1997 and 2010, net annual immigration quadrupled, and the UK population was boosted by more than 2.2 million immigrants, more than twice the population of Birmingham. In Labour’s last term in government, 2005-2010, net migration reached on average 247,000 a year.
@@1man1bike1roadthat’s a rather idiotic comparison
Would be good if they actually implemented it.
Nice will done UK
We have millions of kids who are undernourished, People who has worked all their lives unable to get a house.. People who has paid for the NHS not being able to get medicine.. Homelessness, poverty. It's a crisis to say the least. and we have People complaining about the hotels they have been put in.. It's a joke of worse kind..
Hate this government hate this country
We don't need an agreement with any other country or the EU!! We aren't part of the Schengen Agreement!!!
Schengen Agreement is irrelevant here. Anyway, the migrants should be deported to a safe country _outside_ the EU. If "safety" is what they _genuinely_ seek, then _any_ safe country should be acceptable to them.
😂
Yes that's exactly why we need an agreement 😉
Just about every country around the World if I was to float onto one of it’s beaches without ID and lying about my circumstances I would rightfully be arrested and possibly face a jail sentence with almost certain repatriation to follow.
Unless you had a claim for aslyum. Ofc if your claim false then that country can deport you to another country but only after you processed
@@NeilCWCampbell China, Iran or Saudi and many others would listen to me only to get my story then jail and deport me.
@@NeilCWCampbellhow many are you putting up in your house ?
@@gw2891 logical deflection fallacy.
I don't have to house any as that's not how it works lad, your counterpoint is designed for children 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Surely those responsible should house these immigrants, and this fiasco firmly at the feet of brexit voters
Rwanda is a beautiful place. They will enjoy knowing new people there. Don’t worry.
If you illegally enter any country without a passport looking for work you would expect to be thrown out and told not to re-enter 😅😅😅😅 common sense!
About time to. We are sick of it .
It is never going to change International law has a say in how these people are dealt with so it makes is difficult to get them out of the country once they are in. What they don't do is gather them up and put them in a holding place not a hotel a holding cell the news would get back eventually that basically they will be held as prisoners. They should have sorted this out years ago.
Hi time! Finally the UK has come to their senses. before these people insist on making Sharia Law the official law of the land in the UK! I hope they ban Tik Tok.
No more asylum
Why wasn’t this already a thing?!?
Eventually could be removed??? That’s not a plan. That’s stalling.
Believe it when I see it. He will say anything for 🗳 ... wouldn't trust him. END of!
The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
Don't come to UK...
How is that radical ?
4 months on still NOTHING are you surprised
I have literally just sat next to a romanian man in the job centre and he said I need money to send to my family in Romania for health care not I am fleeing for my safety it was literally healthcare
Romanians aren't illegals they work like dogs and have a right to be here. For them to even entertain him at the jobcentre means he's been here at least 3 years and has most likely worked and paid taxes.
Oh no. Look at how many of those people there are.
Why don’t make the same laws as the EU have Don. Deporting illegals within 12 minutes. Also implement a return bill with the EU which could have been done when Boris was in power. Why didn’t he do I?
“eventually could be removed…” where will they be waiting in the meantime? I assume they will still be housed and taken care of for years to come.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 14), which states that everyone has the right to seek and enjoy asylum from persecution in other countries. The 1951 UN Refugee Convention (and its 1967 Protocol), which protects refugees from being returned to countries where they risk being persecuted.
The Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, also known as the 1951 Refugee Convention or the Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951 is a United Nations multilateral treaty that defines who a refugee is and sets out the rights of individuals who are granted asylum and the responsibilities of nations that grant asylum. The Convention also sets out which people do not qualify as refugees, such as war criminals. The Convention also provides for some visa-free travel for holders of refugee travel documents issued under the convention.
These International laws apply to all UN member states, regardless of whether they participate in the Human Rights Council.
We need to increase staff for processing applications, citizenship hearings, appeals trials, and to catch up and keep up with Visa applications globally.
The backlog of immigrants that built up until Covid limits were lifted then opened floodgates during Biden's administration & should be averaged over the Covid years for greater accuracy, annnd calculations should consider emigration (citizens leaving the U.S. during the same time frame).
Also, borders & entries other than the southern border need emphasizing, as well as States that are soliciting greater populations of legal residents to relocate to their states (Ex: Vermont & other NE States).
It would also help if media stopped claiming that the Bidden administration's policies are to have "open borders", which encourages increasing attempts by migrants to enter the U.S..
Retrograde (backlogged processing limiting entrants) of applicants following legal steps are essentially being "punished" by U.S. understaffing of legal immigration processing.
Given the shortage of Public Defenders (attorneys), Immigration Judges and staff across the board, qualified anti Cyber-attack & drone-attack defense personnel, Etc., I encourage increasing investments in specific areas of education that increase National Security!
On the old days they'd be put on an old old ship and beached on the shore of Libya.
Useless.
Department of deportation needed asap! Reform has my vote next year!
Dont let them in in the first place.
Chanel 4 news is so bias should be allowed on air tbh
Brilliant step! For everybody's safety, prevent Chaos
Just don't pick them up in the channel.
Enough is enough
i am still waiting to hear what is radical in this plan?
Welfaregees
The uk getting criticised for everything. Iran kids people out and gets praised
Thats not going to stop them from coming to the uk
They will be arrested and deported
Remind us why Honk kong men aren’t being told to go back and fight
How do thousands of immigrants come in.... same way out.
Operative word being "eventually".....can't you tell it's channel lefty 4
This new bill is in direct contravention of the 1951 Convention on Refugee Status, a part of the Geneva Convention which states that if a person meets the requirements for refugee status then they cannot have punitive measures levelled against them for entering the country by irregular means. It will be challenged in international law and the Tories know this, but this is exactly what they want to happen so when the next election comes and the small boats problem is worse than ever they can claim that this would have solved the small boats crossings but that they are being blocked by “lefty lawyers”. When in reality, they caused the problem (small boat crossings were under 300 per year in 2018), did nothing to solve it because anti immigration sentiment is statistically good for them during elections. So they cooked up a law that sounds tough about it but is illegal under international law so they will never have to actually follow through and do anything sensible to solve the problems but can claim that it is someone else’s fault when it fails to have any actual effect.
Maybe but don’t you think we should stop the illegal immigration? It’s not right that people are putting their lives in danger by coming here illegally. Vast majority are clearly not fleeing danger as they’ve come from France and a lot are young men, who ironically could be making their home countries better.
How are they refugees? France isn’t at war. They’re economic migrants, welfaregees, picking where they want to live off the taxpayers.
Not really, the Convention requires the people who seek refugee status to present themselves to the authorities WITHOUT DELAY once they arrive.
Otherwise, they are illegal aliens.
Persons who committed crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity can't be recognized as refugees i.e. the Convention is not applied to such persons.
For most of the refugees from the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa where totalitarian regimes are flourishing we don't know who they are.
If you go to france on a ferry without an indate passport they will send you straight back to the uk
Not if you present yourself to the authorities and apply for asylum, they’ll process your claim and give you temporary accommodation while they do so, then they’ll either accept you as a refugee or deport you back to the UK. Just because you’ve never had cause to apply for asylum doesn’t mean you can’t, France is a signatory of the same convention we are.

Can't solve it, too late... Now we must reap what you have sown 😢
Basically the same model that australia did.. tho it did stop the boats from coming
All talk no action
At their fares. Save money
Stop it

It's bound to fail
The policy is free for all Britain. Meaning the inmates are running the asylum 🙃
They aee currently sending them to Ireland anyway.
It's not radical. It's normal.
Is that in india or uk ?

That sounds like it violates the right to asylum.
Make repatriations great again !
Still the same
Sounds good
DONT LET THEM IN
It’s a problem, but is utterly insignificant compared to inflation, housing, health, social care, and so on. But they have run out of ideas for those, so all we are left with is…. “We’re under attack by a few hundred people in dinghy’s”
Housing, health and social care is hardly available to the British people now, and the more,of these invaders that come, the more years we have to wait for housing and to be seen by a doctor. Many of us are dying because there are too many people for the doctors to cope.
Get your figures right, google it, it's hundreds of thousands.
Stats from UK government website: Unemployment by ethnicity.
Extract: The overall unemployment rate in 2022 was 4%
-
3% of white people were unemployed in 2022, compared with 6% of people from all other ethnic groups combined
-
people from the combined Bangladeshi and Pakistani (9%), Asian ‘other’ (7%) and black (7%) ethnic groups had the highest unemployment rates out of all ethnic groups.
That sounds much better let's hope it happens
